Will Adam Massey loose it?

The real question is whether Adam will loose the almost guarantee of a seat he had. This slacker had it all rapped up, tricking the business community/developers into thinking he is one of them. But his total laziness cost him the Daily Camera endorsement. While he was a natural for the Camera endorsement, the paper likes to endorse a balance of slow growth planners and downtown businessmen, and Adam and Angelique are the only two on the ticket, Adam clearly blew the interview. If he hadn't, he would have gotten the endorsement.

If you actually meet Adam, you know he doesn't have the stuff, and the Camera obviously figured this out. For heavens sake, they endorsed Shaun Coleman, a nice guy, but clearly too young and inexperienced for the job, over Adam. No Camera endorsement might be enough to move Adam down to the 7-9 place in the race, thus possibly costing him the race.

Remember, the guy also has no campaign. There are barely any Adam yard signs out, there will probably not be a targeted literature drop, if there is indeed any literature drop for Adam. He does not appear to have the money to do a mailing, and its getting way late to put one together. Adam had not appeared at many forums, and he is not walking precincts. His campaign will essentially be newspaper adds, the BOC email list, and the Boulder Realtor email list. In my mind, this means that 20-40% of the voters will have no idea about Adam when they vote, though they will have plenty of info on the other top candidates. This is simply not enough, the Real Big Line is going to have to move Adam off of the top tier down to the competitive level.
